    One for the "commandos"

    "Kilted runners urged to hang free for extreme race" as one of the competitors says, not advisable when jumping over a fire pit! - http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.co...race-1-3093704 .

    Those that wear modern athletic underwear are liable to have the fire melt the material and have it stick to their bits....think commando is definitely the way to go - LESS risk over the fire.... IF...the contestants attack the fire with a good head of steam the kilt aprons will probably protect them anyway.

    And, just for the sake of a well-educated public, I've participated in this event and others like it (kilted, of course). Went without panties once.

    It ain't the obstacles, it's the 3 to 13 miles of chafing.

    Can reporters never get their facts right?

    Sir Francis Ogilvy is NOT the nephew of the Queen (her only nephew is Lord Linley, son of the Late Princess Margaret) but rather the nephew of Princess Alexandra, the Queen's cousin.

    They don't do research and I think most don't know how to do it properly. It's the same here in Germany.
    And I shouldn't start talking about grammar and orthography, and there are no typographers anymore to correct it.
